Uninteresting characters, bad world building, and mediocre writing are being covered by shallow emotional moments that idiots use to pretend that this is good.
>>
>>283482659
It's because the story keeps trying to present itself as something subversive, cool and different from the traditional isekai that people hate so much, only to end up doing the same thing. From the Tolkien races to the demon villains, and all the other generic tropes it uses to build it's world.
The show starts off as if it's going to be this chill iyashikei adventure, only to immediately shit all over that with a Naruto esque exam arc and jacking off how cool, awesome and badass Frieren is while continually proving her right about everything.
The demons in the show are contradictory and awfully written and not even the fans can even decide what it's trying to go for.
>>
>>283485096

I read the whole of Malazan, Memory Sorrow and Thorn, Second Apocalypse and many others and Frieren is a 5.5 or 6/10 for me. I appreciate it for what it is, but I’ve seen way better!

>>
>>283484925
The demons in Frieren are incredibly contradictory and badly written. They don't understand human emotions, and yet their entire modus operandi is manipulating people's emotions? They don't have emotions and yet Lugner got mad about Frieren hiding her mana and Aura cried when Frieren forced her to kill herself? They don't have morals, and yet they think hiding your mana is wrong and they think other demons dying is wrong? They're smart enough to engage in political conversations with other races and yet they don't know what a father is? Nothing about them makes any sense.
Watch, as Frieren fans will attempt to drown me in paragraphs of mental gymnastics, contradictory interpretations and retarded headcanon.
>>
>>283482659

People that don´t like Frieren don´t know how to appreciate simplicity in design or are bothered by classicism. These people usually think that in order to be popular something should really stand out by breaking with conventions or having a very unique style or identity. In short they usually think only truly special media should get big and popular.

This is off course presumptuous and preposterous. Well done classic narratives and styles can obviously also stand above mediocrity. Truth be told Frieren is not all that special if one associates being special with complexity. It´s just a very good classic narrative. Good is good, bad is bad, simple designs and high quality production values. The only thing that it does different is that it focus on the moments in between rather than on the big adventure to save the world. It´s a very comfortable story about dealing with loss and regrets and moving forward.

Honestly i´m pretty happy that it´s popular since it´s popularity has opened the doors for high fantasy to make a come back. It´s a light of hope on a market saturated by isekai. If it wasn´t for Frieren we wouldn´t have Dungeon Meshi or Witch Hat Atelier. Think about that.

I also like Frieren for what it is though. I´ll reserve judgment about it being a masterpiece (or not) until it´s done but people saying it´s bad are being ridiculous and contrarian. Those people probably thought Jobless was going to be the fantasy anime of the decade and are just sore their shitty isekai lost.
>>
>>283487564
No. It's badly written. The show keeps trying to take tropes from earlier works like Tolkien's and tries dressing them up to be more complex or interesting, only to revert them back to their simpler form.

>>I don't understand nuance and the implication that things can be more complicated than what is exactly stated without the thing I'm told being a lie
The problem with the idea that this is meant to be more nuanced or a part of Frieren's growth is that the story and narrative have never framed Frieren as being in the wrong for her beliefs on demons no matter how extreme, even despite all the contradictions that have been written. In order to do this, they'd have to 180 the entire audience's perception of her actions up until that point.

>>283487564
I do appreciate simplicity. And I think MT is as good as Frieren; neither are particularly good. Frieren simply does not do much with its narrative and themes. It abandons them for a more typical story, while well made, is simply not above your average WSJ entry. Take for instance, the Golden City storyline, that behaves eerily like KnY.
Additionally, Meshi’s and WHA’s productions were entirely unrelated to Frieren’s, and WHA is currently a much worse series than Frieren, not to mention compared to its own beginning!

Yeah, because objective good and evil exist in her world. Her flaws stem from the fact that she doesn't realize what she had with Himmel.

presumably that the personality of basically all of the characters is that they're autistic, and their conversations all sound like business meetings even when they're in the middle of fights. with of course the exception of Stark, that pair of dyke girls, that one loli village leader, and some other background characters. each of whom fits neatly into some equally boring worn out trope.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. I was feeling there was something off about the anime and I think you might just have pointed out what that was.
>>
>>283490205

Its got to be because there is something wrong with themselves.
>>
>>283487342
>They don't understand human emotions
Their brains operate differently from a normal human's. Their mindsets and behaviors are totally alien.
>yet their entire modus operandi is manipulating people's emotions?
In that they understand appealing to humans in certain ways can bring about desired results. If you ask me, Frieren and Flamme greatly exaggerate a demon's ability to manipulate people.
>They don't have emotions and yet Lugner got mad about Frieren hiding her mana and Aura cried when Frieren forced her to kill herself?
Demons have some emotions, but they don't seem to possess all emotions human do, nor do they understand the emotions they do have.
>They don't have morals
They have demon morals, not human ones.
>They're smart enough to engage in political conversations with other races and yet they don't know what a father is?
This is something I also took issue with. Lugner might have just been sarcastic in his answer to Linie, or maybe it means most Demons don't have any interest in learning anything about humans.
>>
>>283490533
>Their brains operate differently from a normal human's. Their mindsets and behaviors are totally alien.
And yet nothing seems to show this. They operate like they're just sociopaths with a serial killer gene. Everything about them is described as human from the way that they're arrogant or prideful.
>In that they understand appealing to humans in certain ways can bring about desired results. If you ask me, Frieren and Flamme greatly exaggerate a demon's ability to manipulate people.
How do they do this if they don't know what emotions are on a functional level and can't recognize them in other people?
>Demons have some emotions, but they don't seem to possess all emotions human do, nor do they understand the emotions they do have.
How do they do this if they don't know what emotions are on a functional level and can't recognize them in other people?
>They have demon morals, not human ones.
They have very human morality. They think trickery with mana is wrong, and other demons dying is wrong. There's nothing saying that they couldn't just adopt another moral system.

It's the inevitable consequence of tens of millions of normalfags getting into anime during covid.

I didn't mind since most of the characters were people who were at the absolute top of an academic/intellectual field that emphasised control and analytical ability and even IRL these kinds of niggas all tend to be of a "type", The characters that didn't have this trait like Ubel, and Wirbel were regarded as the oddballs of the field so that helped to reinforce the idea.
If anything having characters lock in and deal with the problems in front of them with a kind of maturity instead of just yelling louder at them was a big plus point for the series.
Having characters who are supposed to be leading professionals in their discipline acutally act professionally to an extent was a beath of fresh air compared to most shows.

Sousou no Frieren constantly conflates reminiscence with reflection. While it presents itself as a profound and introspective look into grief, time, and the impermanence of life, it never moves beyond easy nostalgia bait. In place of any genuine introspection or growth, Frieren endlessly dwells on the past. The high quality art, animation, music, and cinematography give the illusion of emotional depth and mask how static and shallow the story really is.
Beyond the first few episodes where Frieren mourns and reflects before deciding to cherish what she has left and reconnect with Heiter and Eisen, she doesn't change at all throughout the entire season. The show falls into the same episodic rhythm:
>Arrive at a new town
>Flashback to Himmel
>Fern acts like the mom
>Stark acts as comedic relief
It becomes formulaic and repetitive while acting as though it is profound. It never develops any of it's themes, it's an endless loop of sentimental reminiscing.
Fern and Stark never progress beyond their initial tropes. It tries during the demon arc and the ballroom dance, but never capitalises on it and regresses back to their original dynamic afterwards.
The second half of the season is boring bureaucracy about magical exams and administration. It introduces even more tropey, throwaway side characters who contribute nothing to the initial themes of the show.
The whole show is visually beautiful but shallow. The constant illusion of being contemplative and mature comes off as pretentious when you drill down and see there is nothing substantive underneath. You could cut half the episodes and lose nothing of substance. It's a sentimental and comfy vibe that appeals to the zoomer's lack of media literacy.

holy shit something of substance!
>>
>>283482659
Simple. it insists upon itself.
>>
>>283493471
Are you sure it's not just...
Really slow
>>
>>283493471
A lot of this comes across as the author trying to seem mature. Such as when the author avoids using any sort of exaggerated facial expressions.
>>
>>283482659
>but there's something about this anime that bothers me a lot.
I guarantee you, if you never interacted with the fanbase or people that use this show for culture war shit, you would think that it's fine
>>
>>283486606
Honestly this bait is so retarded it made me laugh, thanks anon

I've never come across a manga that required more than three volumes to even get remotely interested! Usually, the most I read is one volume. This is an absolute piece of garbage that takes more time than reading a book just to empathize with and start caring about the characters. It's overrated. If you don't know what bothers you about it, it's simply trash, but you're consuming it anyway.
Even Goblin Slayer did it better, and he actually comes from a novel, unlike Mr. wanna be a book Frieren..
>>
>>283495807
Goblin Slayer? Seriously?

>>283490668
There might be cases for or against the characterization of demons; what you posted isn't. The greentext is so dumb that it's bait or you do in fact have 0 media literacy for believing it.
To top it off, you do this thing where you completely deflect with "you defended the anime". I'm not sure why nu-posters think this is a gotcha. That's unbelievably shallow tanking the literacy levels further.
>>
>>283496216
Okay, then explain where I'm wrong.

Chatgpt isn't sentient but it can write text.

it become popular without any stupid gimmicks
it is a slap in the face to shitty anime

Not one Frierenfag had a response to this, because they know it's correct and it makes them seethe.

Before this ever became an anime this board would sing its praises. Now its 'Le popular thing is le bad im so cynical and based xdd' .Many such cases.

The fact that Frieren doesn't have a functional libido despite being the sexiest creature in the world? Yeah, that bothered me too.
>>
>>283496920
The irony is that Frierenfags love to pretend all the jokes about the show are just people "hating", but when presented with actual, substantive criticism, your best response is
>w-well it's just...slow...you just don't like s-slow anime...
>>
>>283496959
People shit on this before the anime came out too. People consistently complained at how boring the characters were.
>>
it's slow unlike my fast paced 40chapter shonenshit battle
>>
Lmao the entire thread is Freirentards either trying and failing to explain how the Demons make any sense or personally attacking people...
>>
>>283482659
Frieren the Redditor. Superficially mimics elements of other great stories in order to cynically pander to zoomers who live on social media. The MC is literally an autist who sleeps a lot, has terrible hygeine, lives life without purpose, and struggles to understand emotions, but she's also a badass archmage who destroys everyone in her path, nothin personnel. Oh, and she's a cute elf girl! Sex with cute elf girl who's just like me!
You could not write a more reddit or xitter character if you tried. It's incredibly disingenuous and even narcissistic in a way. Garbage anime, but then again nearly everything made post-COVID has been shit, so it's got plenty of company.

Thanks for proving my point. Take a shower.
>>
>283497142
you made 200 threads on the topic and you want me to explain again dumb shit like "Aura cries". That's not even an argument. It's stated that demons mimic people. Aura crying proves this wrong...how? Kill yourself.
>>
>>283497102
Okay fine fine, right you don't get it, that explanation only makes sense when you already think what I think...
How to say this in a way that actually makes sense...
My claim is that the supposed lack of introspection and character growth is really just very slowly paced and understated, and so it's easy to miss that it's happening at all when you're expecting it to be as obvious as the inciting incident
>>
>>283493471
at least its not as bad as shaman king. god that fucker needed a strict editor

Anon, please read this and tell me if you're too illiterate to get it
>>
>>283482659
Because it's good and popular?

>>283490966
i think anime overacting has rotted your brain.

>>283488687
Counterpoint/example: everyone is giga autistic in dungeon meshi but that never seems to be brought up as a fault.
>>
>>283498126
I mean that's something written in 19th century England so I can excuse some of the language but if some faggot pseud wrote any of this a modern book

>Michaelmas term
>Fog drooping on the gunwales of barges
>Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs
Expecting me to know what the fuck any of that means then I'll throw the book into the trash

Pffffftttttttahahahahahahah, this has to be one of the top 5 most American posts ever written on the entire site
I sure hope it’s bait, or your IQ is likely similar to a somalian

Show me a photo of the books you own or your goodreads account. Let's see the stuff that you actually read or do you just pretend to read so people won't think you have no personality?
>>
>>283498620
It’s impossible to tell anymore, I just assume bad faith until proven otherwise
Yes, it’s tiresome
>>
>>283498701
>post a picture of your 5 meter long family library filled with books in a foreign language (some French, some English) so I can shitpost further
You already concluded I have no personality, what’s the point
I just replied because your post is sincerely baffling
>>
>>283498797
>Asking a question is the same as making a conclusion.
Woah so many literate book readers in this thread. Maybe you should try actually reading something from your dad's library, son.
>>
>>283498494
It’s called broadening your vocabulary. These terms aren’t even that hard and probably don’t take any time to search up
>>
>>283499107
That's why I originally said I didn't like reading those books because I don't enjoy interrupting my reading to search for terms I'm not familiar with. I'd rather just read non-fiction books or light novels that don't have such obscure language for the sake of it.
